Kayla Jade, a 30-year-old OnlyFans creator and TikTok influencer with 2.2 million followers, traveled to Turkey for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) earlier this year. She chose the overseas clinic after reading positive online reviews and seeking a more affordable option than local surgeons.
Communication Barriers and Ignored Warnings
Upon arrival, Kayla encountered language difficulties that hindered clear communication with the medical staff. Although her surgeons cautioned that the procedure might not deliver her ideal shape, she pressed forward. She later admitted she felt pressured by glowing testimonials and discounted pricing.
A Harrowing Operation and Immediate Aftermath
During the surgery, Kayla reported feeling intense sensations despite general anesthesia. “I could feel everything,” she said on her podcast, Storytime with Kayla Jade, recalling tears on the operating table. Afterward, she suffered severe pain and even vomited blood, a sign of serious internal distress.
Protocol Breaches and Dangerous Recovery
Correct BBL protocol requires patients to lie on their stomachs or sides to protect the newly grafted fat. Kayla, however, was left lying on her back—staff insisted it was acceptable. This breach increased her risk of fat embolism, a life-threatening complication.
Revision Surgery Back Home
Unhappy with an uneven “lump” on her back, Kayla returned to Australia for corrective surgery a year later. Her Australian doctor labeled the Turkish clinic’s aftercare “crazy” and criticized their lax standards. “I’m lucky to be alive,” Kayla reflected, noting the high risk of arterial damage in BBL procedures.
A Cautionary Tale for Cosmetic Tourists
Kayla’s ordeal has fueled social media warnings. One commenter wrote, “A Turkish BBL is like gambling with your life.” Her experience underscores the dangers of trusting online reviews without thorough vetting. Medical experts advise patients to research credentials, demand clear pre- and post-operative plans, and consider the hidden costs of revisional surgery before traveling abroad for cosmetic work.
